just a comment;

i just got these lights but the night time lights dont work.. (do they even come with this functionality?)

the back of my car is pitch black unless i press the brake or turn on the turn signals...
any ideas from anyone? :S

From what im seeing so far (or guessing) from the wiring harness,

Brown Wire - Ground / Common
Green - Turn Signal Voltage
Red - +12V power
Black - Brake Signal
Blue - Reverse
Grey- Fog

What i cant seem to understand is what the plug farthest away from the center of the car does (the skinny plug)

 

Return them and get the Dectane LED tail lights. Random Chinese quality often arrive mis-wired and end up failing in a few months anyways.

 

unfortunately that isnt an option for me

car was in an accident so i dont have my stock lights lol...

im thinking maybe its a burnt fuse? I say this because half the fuses in the car were burnt out when i got it back from the body shop. Any idea what fuse regulates the power to the rear lights (non brakes)? If i can figure out what these rear night light things are actually called; i could find the corresponding fuse lol.

 

Anyone who bot the Dectanes (or something else) will have their old OEM taillights kicking around their garage not doing anything...worth asking on that thread.
